Top Products Produced at the Cul De Sac Quarry

The Cul De Sac Quarry which occupies 28 acres of land is one of four  quarries owned by RG Quarry Ltd. At this quarry one will find the most modern Asphalt plant on the island and the region. Seeing the potential for expansion and modernization, Mr Gajadhar took the initiative to invest in equipment and technology. This has surely paid off and the quarry now boasts of  six plants. A block and brick plant, a concrete, washing, crusher, sand and asphalt plant.

These plants produce and prepare an unknown quantity of products which are listed below. Mr Gajadhar's ingenuity has made it relatively easy for his customers/clientele to obtain any of the products which are produced at the quarry by simply visiting his latest business venture, Rayneau Construction & Industrial Products Ltd (RCIP Ltd) a One-Stop Shop located in Corinth, Gros- Islet.

A concrete block is primarily used as a building material in the construction of walls. A concrete block is one of several precast concrete products used in construction. The precast refers to the fact that the blocks are formed and hardened before they are brought to the job site. .

Some of the product can be used for concrete, asphalt, filter material and roads, while boulders.can be used for landscaping and other decorative purposes.





Different strengths of concrete
